Philadelphia

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011


Pennsylvania’s largest city – also the second-largest city on the east coast and the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States – is one of the most important cities on the east coast, although surprisingly few travellers stop here en route between New York and Washington DC. Philly offers many attractions including the vibrant Center City and the Independence National Historical Park area and is well worth a look.

Historically, Philly has been an important city. At one point it was the largest city in the United States surpassing even New York City in importance as a cultural and business city and it was the US capital until the 1790s.

Pittsburgh Travel and Transport

Sunday, March 20th, 2011


Much of central Pittsburgh appears rather confusing for those try to travel around by car, with roads heading in many different directions and often being one-way only. Therefore, a large number of tourists visiting Pittsburgh simply use local bus transport or the ‘T’ subway trains, choosing only to rent a car if day trips outside of the city are planned.

Run by the Port Authority of Allegheny County, the city’s public transport network provides good value and a very cheap way to travel to all of the city’s main neighborhoods. In you have time on your hands, then do consider traveling around downtown Pittsburgh on foot or by bicycle, particularly since there are so many appealing trails along the riverbanks.
